New Zealand Teen Offers Her Virginity In Exchange For College Tuition: Is It A Wrong Move?

Last year American student Natalie Dylan, auctioned off her virginity to fund her master's degree.

Last year American student Natalie Dylan, auctioned off her virginity to fund her master's degree.

Here’s what the Associated Press had to say about this matter:

A New Zealand teenager who says she auctioned her virginity online for $32,000 to raise tuition money did not break any laws but it might be risky for her to follow through on the deal, police warned Wednesday.

You think so, Associated Press? How did you come to the astute conclusion: that offering your virginity online to the highest bidder might present some problems? You mean, there might be some bad strangers out there in this virginity-for-money exchange? You mean future Craigslist killers most likely will overlook such an offer from the future attendees of higher education?

Known by her user name, Unigirl, the teen (who comes from the country that brought us Flight of the Conchords) got over 1.200 offers from her ad posted on www.ineed.co.nz.

In her ad, (which had no photo) she described herself as fit, attractive, and healthy, while adding, “I have never had a sexual relationship and am still a virgin.”

A strange twist to this sordid tale would be if Unigirl wasn’t a virgin, college student or even female. Because in this country we simply call what she’s doing, prostitution. And why is this even breaking news? How many times have you been in a strip club and the stripper tells you she’s a collage student studying psychology?

Maybe in the land of Lord of the Rings they are a little more honest about these things? Or, then again, maybe not.
